Help Im Alive posted:Is Labo doing well All we get real numbers for is jpn and uk Jpn it sold 90k first week, doubling gow's sales. But in both jpn and uk regions stores only sold 30% of the stock they received. So it sold strong to early adopters but seemingly not as big of a launch as retailers thought if they have dozens of boxes piled up still

Harrow posted:XC2 is a really good game and I feel bad for initially dismissing it for its silly character designs. It’s really fun. Hope for a switch rerelease of XCX.

I can’t believe Charli XCX’s next album is a console exclusive.

I'm now level 6 in Divinity OS1 and really enjoying this game. I read up on the recommended character builds, but have otherwise tried to play without consulting a guide or anything. I also rebound quicksave/quickload to z/x and it's been great. The orcs on the beach by the cave still gently caress me up bad, but I haven't tried since my whole party leveled up. any advice?

I'm looking at the cardgames that are not too dollar-intensive and work both on PC and iPad and it seems like there's now a myriad options, anyone know a recent-ish tl;dr on that?

Real hurthling! posted:Jade empire contains one of the worst shmups ever made its insane it wasnt cut from the final build and instead made optional Hellgate: London was the king of incongruous lovely minigames. I think it had a shmup, a turret section and an RTS all within a few hours of each other and the were all terrible. And I actually liked the game in general.

Help Im Alive posted:If you ranked hobbies based on how poorly people spend their money video games are probably like top 5 I don't think so. Maybe bottom 10 but video games (especially in the West) are seen as largely disposable. The people who dump a ton of money into microtransaction games are playing those games almost exclusively. My dad probably put my entire college fund into Lionel trains and I've seen people get evicted with their mountain of Warhammer figures. As long as you follow Guybrush's advice on buying video games it's probably the cheapest hobby.

At least stamps and cars are real things. If you have a huge digital backlog of games you’re buying licenses to poo poo you don’t necessarily own that you don’t have time to play.

There was another big MMO failure that came out around Hellgate, Pax Romana or something? Everyone thought they could do paid subscriptions at the height of WoW's popularity and it killed a lot of prestige projects.

I think it had a shmup, a turret section and an RTS all within a few hours of each other and the were all terrible. And I actually liked the game in general. I remember all of this now! That game was so loving horrible. I remember there was one final update that was planned to be released that made the game way better, but then the dev studio shut down so it never saw the light of day.

You have to admire the forward-thinking grift of Hellgate: London and its "lifetime" subscription. Recent innovators like EA have improved on the concept by selling $199 super-deluxe mega hype editions of Mass Effect: Andromeda (game not included).

I feel like I'm cheating in The Evil Within 2 doing the shooting challenges with a mouse. I have no idea how you're supposed to do the hardest one without memorizing the exact locations but I'm loaded up with 20,000 goo and a million weapon parts without trying.

Yeah RE4 was the same, it was ridiculously easy on the PC or Wii versions. Also I really like how both Evil Within games don't even try to explain how bottling up green goo from corpses somehow makes Sebastian a better person.
